I don't know how gpm works though I took a look to openbsd's moused. I copi=
ed
its code to netbsd, which worked fine, but guess it, it was "bad" code. Most
of the mouse support (mouse movement, selections, etc) is done in kernel, a
thing that nobody liked.

As I'm doing now, everything is from user-space, except those ioctl's to
draw/hide mouse pointer and to paste text...
